*might* be possible to program an Amiga to digest RX02 disks (it also
lacks a dedicated FDC - it uses a 4096-bit shift register in the sound
chip to import the data, and (for MFM formats) miniterms applied by
the graphics co-processor to translate back and forth to plain binary
data). The Catweasel should be able to handle it, but, as has been
hashed out here before, you'd have to roll your own with it; the software
support is severely lacking compared to the capability of the hardware.
If anyone is interested in reading RX02 format with a Catweasel, I've
been down this road. My software for the Catweasel can read and write
these disks. You can download it from my Web page.
If you hate the Catweasel for some reason (I seem to draw hostility when
I post about it here), you're also free to grab my software and adapt it
to other hardware that can sample floppy drive output.
